The Home First service is transforming the way support is delivered to people following discharge from hospital, helping them regain independence and remain safely in their own homes. We are seeking a highly organised and proactive Planner and Administrator to play a vital role in the success of this new countywide service.

- Coordinating and scheduling patient visits to ensure care and support plans are delivered safely, efficiently and in line with individual needs.
- Working closely with the Home First Leads, Therapy Leads and multidisciplinary team, you will proactively manage service capacity and demand to maximise productivity and support effective patient flow.
- Accurately recording and maintaining information on clinical systems, creating and updating schedules, monitoring workforce capacity and responding to changing service demands.
- Acting as a key point of contact for the service, handling enquiries from patients, carers, staff and partner organisations professionally and efficiently.
- Providing a comprehensive administrative service, including diary management, meeting coordination, minute taking, maintaining records and databases, ordering supplies, supporting invoice processes and ensuring information is recorded accurately and confidentially.
